    The Microsoft Project Skills You Will Build

    Practical Capabilities for Real Projects

    This Microsoft Project course builds practical, hands-on capability from your first schedule to programme-level reporting. By the end, you can plan, resource, track and report on real projects using Microsoft Project with confidence.

    Build and Schedule Project Plans

    Create projects, configure calendars, enter a work breakdown structure with summary tasks, subtasks and milestones, and set durations so Microsoft Project calculates the schedule automatically.

    Link Tasks and Read the Critical Path

    Apply Finish-to-Start, Start-to-Start, Finish-to-Finish and Start-to-Finish dependencies with lag and lead time, use constraints and deadlines, and interpret the critical path and float to protect delivery dates.

    Assign and Balance Resources

    Create work, material and cost resources, assign them to tasks, identify over-allocation, and use resource levelling to keep team workloads realistic and achievable.

    Baseline, Track and Report Progress

    Set project baselines, record actual progress, analyse schedule variance in the Tracking Gantt, and generate built-in reports that stakeholders can rely on.

    Manage Cost and Earned Value

    Plan budgets, track costs and calculate earned value metrics such as BCWS, BCWP, SPI and CPI to measure project health and forecast outcomes at the Advanced level.

    Run Multi-Project Programmes

    Build master projects and subprojects, create cross-project dependencies, tailor custom views, fields and reports, and manage programme-level resources at the Advanced level.
